The Waldorf Salad was created in the late 1800s in the newly opened Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, and was an instant hit. The bright, bold flavor epitomizes the New York spirit – so what better way to serve it than on the iconic New York bagel?!

German’s Chocolate cake is actually not German, but named after a man by the name of German who made the chocolate. But no matter the name or origin—we just love the ooey-gooey goodness and spectacular looks of this classic cake.
This version is just slightly more chocolate and less sweet than the classic; to ramp up the chocolate even more, substitute some of the German’s Sweet Chocolate with semi-sweet or dark.

This dip has been one of our favorites for many years. It works well for almost any party and you can keep the ingredients on hand for last minute teen get-togethers. The onion rings are better the thinner you slice the onion. We use a mandolin and make really small shoestring ones. They are a special treat.

This is a very adult cupcake. It reminds me of an apple pie in cake form and a bourbon cocktail all in one. The grated apple helps keep the cupcake moist while giving it texture. The addition of bourbon to the buttercream takes the flavor combinations right over the top! To give the tops some interest top with sautéed apples, toasted pecans or toasted coconut.

This strawberry cake is not made with Jell-o or food coloring so don’t be surprised when it comes out of the oven and is not bright pink. This cake still packs a mean strawberry kick. The top of the cake does not dome and the crumb is very tender due to the amount of fruit preserve and fresh fruit. Add a layer of jam between layers or in the center of the cupcake and top with a delicious whipped cream frosting to really capture the lightness of the crumb.
